Motorists will pay less for fuel over the next month after the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) reduced diesel prices by Sh10 per litre and petrol prices by Sh0.22 per litre, while leaving kerosene prices unchanged for the period between June 15 and July 14, 2026.
In its latest review, EPRA said the new prices were calculated in line with Section 101(y) of the Petroleum Act 2019 and Legal Notice No. 192 of 2022.
“In the period under review, the maximum allowed petroleum pump prices for Super Petrol and Diesel decrease by Sh0.22/litre and Sh10.00/litre respectively while the price of Kerosene remains unchanged,” the authority said.
